Children have their own way of learning and exploring. At Hohenwerfen adventure castle we have therefore developed special audio guides that are fully tailored to children’s needs. We currently have children’s audio guides in German, English, Italian, Dutch, Danish and Hebrew. You receive the audio guides at the start of the tour in the castle courtyard.

Adventurous discoveries

With the help of the clever falcon Alonso, the kids go on a thrilling quiz rally, interactively solve the secret of the shadows and are rewarded with a small surprise. At various exciting stations the young adventurers have to solve tricky tasks. The hunters of the skies then show their unparalleled skills in the fantastic flight show with birds of prey. You receive the quiz book at the cash desk.

Games in the castle courtyard & children’s knight’s tournaments

Games from the Middle Ages

In the castle courtyard, younger visitors can enjoy themselves with many different games. Activities such as walking on stilts, throwing rings or bowling are available the whole day. Children can also build their own castle with wooden building blocks. Our advice: From May to September, the whole family can prove their skills at the weekend in a small tournament made up of 4 stations under the motto “from squire to knight”. An awards ceremony then follows. Every child will receive a surprise.
